LOS ANGELES (AP) — The California man behind a crudely produced anti-Islamic video that has inflamed parts of the Middle East was arrested Thursday for violating terms of his probation, authorities said.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, has been on probation for a 2010 federal check fraud conviction that brought a 21-month prison sentence. Under terms of his probation, he was not to use computers or the Internet for five years without approval from his probation officer.
Nakoula was taken into custody Thursday, said U.S. Attorney’s spokesman Thomas Mrozek.
A U.S. District Court hearing was scheduled for Nakoula on Thursday afternoon. It was closed to media and the public.
Protests have erupted around the Middle East over a 14-minute trailer for the film “Innocence of Muslims” that depicts Prophet Muhammad as a womanizer, religious fraud and child molester. Though the trailer was posted to YouTube in July, the violence didn’t break out until Sept. 11 and has spread since.

I'm sure his arrest had nothing to do with Muslims or Obama. One the other hand the film was so bad as to be a crime against art!!! Just not illegal under the law!
How's that for the land of the free and home of the brave? These criminals in government can lock up anyone at anytime! Makes you feel all warm inside doesn't it? They can and will, trump up charges on all of us!
Free speech has died. There is now a court order for Google to BAN this obscure movie. Where are the liberals screaming free speech?
Sounds like something might be trumped up?
